It is almost time to head into the Bake Off tent for a Christmas special! 🎄🎅
- The Great Christmas Bake Off is back for 2025!
- It will be a Peep Show reunion in the famous tent.
- But who is taking part and when can you tune in?
Set your times and grab those festive oven mitts, because it is almost time to take The Great Christmas Bake Off out of the oven. Channel 4 has a real treat for comedy fans this holiday.
The legendary cooking competition will be sprinkled by a bit of celebrity star dust. It is set to be a Peep Show reunion in the famous tent.
But which of the stars will be appearing in the festive episode? Here’s all you need to know:
Who is on The Great Christmas Bake Off?
For the first time since Peep Show wrapped in 2015, fan favourites David Mitchell, Olivia Colman, Isy Suttie, Matt King and Sophie Winkleman have reunite – and this time, they’re donning festive jumpers and rolling up their sleeves to tackle a series of seasonal baking challenges.
Under the watchful eyes of judges Prue Leith and Paul Hollywood, and with plenty of mischief and charm from Bake Off hosts Noel Fielding and Alison Hammond, expect laughter and chaos in this Great Peep Show Christmas Bake Off special.
The group will attempt to whisk, knead and decorate their way to glory with challenges paying homage to Peep Show. But will their culinary creations rise to the occasion, or will they collapse like a poorly-proofed loaf?
What time is The Great Christmas Bake Off on?
Make sure you have some Christmas treats close to hand because Bake Off’s festive special might make your stomach rumble. It is set to begin at 8pm and it is a full-length episode.
The Great Christmas Bake Off is due to finish at approximately 9.15pm and is followed by Gogglebox. The preview teases: “The fun begins with hangable festive biscuit decorations, before they tackle a Christmas pie technical challenge.
“For the showstopper the bakers re-create their favourite Peep Show moments in cake form.”
Will Bake Off be back during the festive period?
In a real festive treat, Channel 4 will have two different holiday specials over the Christmas period. The show will be back on New Year’s Day at 6.40pm.
The Great New Year Bake Off will feature some favourite former finalists and winners returning to the iconic tent. Make sure to add that one to your calendar.
